To fetch the mount point details in a storage account, you can use different tools and methods depending on your preference. Here's how you can do it using various options:

Azure Portal:

• Go to the Azure Portal (portal.azure.com) and navigate to your storage account.
• In the left-hand menu, under the "Settings" section, click on "File shares."
• You will see a list of file shares associated with your storage account, along with their mount points.

1. PowerShell:

Install the Azure Az PowerShell module if you haven't already.

Open a PowerShell session and connect to your Azure account using the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet.

• Run the following command to get the mount point details:

Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName "YourResourceGroup" -Name "YourStorageAccountName" | Get-AzStorageShare | Select-Object Name, MountPoint

Replace "YourResourceGroup" with the name of your resource group and "YourStorageAccountName" with the name of your storage account.

1. Ansible:

Install the "azure.azcollection" Ansible collection if you haven't already.

• Use the following Ansible playbook to fetch the mount point details:

- name: Fetch mount point details from storage account
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: Get mount points
      azure.azcollection.azure_rm_storageaccount_info:
        resource_group: YourResourceGroup
        name: YourStorageAccountName
      register: storage_info

    - name: Display mount points
      debug:
        msg: "{{ item.name }} - {{ item.properties.mountPoint }}"
      loop: "{{ storage_info.result.file_shares }}"

Replace "YourResourceGroup" with the name of your resource group and "YourStorageAccountName" with the name of your storage account.

1. Azure Cloud Shell:

Open Azure Cloud Shell (shell.azure.com) in your browser.

Choose either Bash or PowerShell as your preferred shell.

• Run the following command to get the mount point details:

az storage share list --account-name YourStorageAccountName --account-key YourStorageAccountKey --query '[].{Name: name, MountPoint: properties.mountPoint}' -o table

Replace "YourStorageAccountName" with the name of your storage account and "YourStorageAccountKey" with the account key (primary or secondary) of your storage account.

Choose the method that suits your needs and preferences. These options provide different ways to fetch the mount point details for file shares in your storage account.
